Summer Youth Trail Crew
Summer Internship Program
The Summer Youth Trail Crew program has been in place since 2020 and has grown from a crew of four youth for 6 weeks to a crew of five youth for 8-12 weeks.
In addition to basic skills like brushing, trail blazing, flagging, raking, and benching, the youth are provided courses in safe use of trail equipment including chainsaw certification and Wilderness First Aid.
What we do
The Summer Youth Trail Crew has made invaluable contributions to our region including developing the trail system spanning both Chilliwack Community Forest and the lower Lexw Qwò:m Park.
Youth are led by volunteer mentors in trail building and maintenance projects and are equipped to facilitate community trail days after their internship.
